United Way wants you! Printer-friendly contribution form on Icon
What! You’ve not yet made your United Way contribution!
No prob. The Icon has the Bluffton-Beaverdam-Richland Township United Way donation form as a printer-friendly attachment at the bottom of this story.
Bluffton’s door-to-door solicitation was in mid-September. Perhaps you weren’t home when your doorbell rang.
This year’s local United Way goal is $25,000.
Here are the groups supported by the UW:
• Boy Scouts
• Bluffton Hospital Auxiliary
• Bluffton Community Preschool
• Bluffton Child Development Center
• Bluffton Community Emergency Assistance
• Girl Scouts
• Allen County Red Cross
• Bluffton Senior Citizens Association
• BFR Sports and Fitness
• Bluffton Release-time Christian Education
Persons may also make contributions at Citizens National Bank. For more information about the United Way contact Duane Bollenbacher, chair.
